#2I love these types of articles. I have joined many FB introvert groups.
Seeing that there are others like me gives me a lot of comfort. I’m learning to adjust my expectations of myself more than trying to radically adjust myself.

#3Parties also generally drain my energy. But I've found out something interesting. If people start playing games at a party (like card games), or if there is a discussion of a topic that really interests me, then my energy is magically replenished. Weird.

#5Good article. I'm E/I neutral so I've had to learn many of these for my I-half.

#6I've spent many years of my life fighting against my introverted nature. I've now embraced who I am, and I respect my need to isolate & recharge. Some people (my wife included ;p) don't always get it, but I don't care. I know what I need to feel better.

#8It bothers me when people just say "you are introverted" or "you are extroverted". Labelling people like this (i.e. a binary one or the other choice) is not helpful. Don't 100% match the definition for X? Then you are Y!
I think in reality it is better to acknowledge that - like many things - introversion/extroversion is a broad scale with many shades of grey, and your personal position on the scale can and does change from situation to situation.
You will ebb and flow over time - don't let over people tell you how to think and behave! :)

Have to agree.
But hopefully without the crowd of "I now identify as this, how dare you" following on.

I agree with you, but the article explicitly covers this, and isn't making a binary argument for introversion vs extroversion.
